Ubisoft Masterserver down? (merged) - Page 5

Faamecanic · 03-08-10, 11:51 AM

ALMOST bought SH5 this weekend (even though I said I wasnt, and I should know better).

After seeing this DRM method (one must ask...will the authentication servers be around 5 yrs from now? I still enjoy my SH3 with GWX, and that is more than 5 yrs on now isnt it?) ...along with the fact you can only play a Type VII and the campaign ends in 1943.

No thanks

Looks like I will keep playing SH 3 GWX (being as SH4 STILL sux).

Seems they got it sorted out.

Sorry for the many who could not play the game they rented.

Glad I kept my money in my pocket.

Looks like the downtime was caused by a DDoS attack:

There wouldn't be any downtime if you were allowed to play a game that you paid good money for on your own computer at your own leisure.

Vikinger · 03-08-10, 12:20 PM

I played and got booted to desktop just when i was about to end an long patrol.

By my estimate, with another two or three days of disrupted service and a class action lawsuit threat UBI should be ready for it...

Mine went off at 5 pm uk time, tried to log back on and was told my user name/password was incorrect, been ok since Thursday, so, wtf are UBI playing at ?.

One of the more common methods for protecting oneself from a DDoS is to identify the IP from which it is coming, and block it at the firewall. This can be tricky to do if it's coming from residential ISP blocks, because a spammer may be able to disconnect, reconnect, and have a new IP in a matter of moments. So the solution changes to blocking a residential IP range, and if the attack is coming from multiple locations like this likely did, then they block multiple residential IP ranges.

And if they happened to do so, it's certainly possible and perhaps even probable that a legitimate user trying to play their game is blocked as part of that range, and can do nothing about it: they're blocking you, semi-intentionally, from playing your copy of the game.

It's possible that this is why some folks are still seeing connection issues, though that's strictly speculation on my part. Being on a major ISP in a major metro area, I wouldn't be surprised to find that happening to myself.
